Do you guys know when Finding Neverland is going to be in wide release?
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Hee!
Pete is just as enthralled with the movie. He thinks it's the best adventure movie ever made.
And yes, Aimée and MM should go as Bob & Helen next Halloween, with Emma (who will be born on November 17th, trust me) as Jack-Jack.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I hear Brad Bird, the writer-director of The Incredibles, also provided the voice for Edna? Can I marry him? Pretty please?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I think if you have a quick-release cape (velcro or something), they can work.
Also, monologuing !

If I only had a brain...
HOly COW. Vonnie found the cast for The Bridge of San Luis Rey. Look at that cast. It's insane. It's like a fruitcake or an Altman movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't read the book since tenth grade, but I loved it then. I just loved the whole idea of it. I forget whether that was before or after I read Skin of Our Teeth, which cemented my love of Thornton Wilder for having a dinosaur randomly appear on the lawn.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Oh, they're never going to recoup that. Slow opening weekends can be overcome by a sleeper hit, but I don't think there's ever been a $270 million sleeper hit. Maybe My Big Fat Greek Wedding, once you factor in foreign grosses, but it made its money over more than a year and the word of mouth wasn't of the "it's the eeriest thing you've ever seen!" variety.
Matt ... MBFGW isn't a good comparison b/c it was actually a monster freak of a hit. IMDB list the budget as an estimated 5 million (that seems a bit low for a US movie, so I'd put the budget nearer to 10 million minimum) but it raked in over 240 million at the US box office alone.
The only computer animated movie I'm waiting to see besides The Incredibles, is the new one by the makers of Ice Age, called, Robots. Saw the trailer over at Apple and it looks great.
